The trick is that any response tells them the have a live working
account, that their message got through the spam filter, that a user
actually read the message and took the time to reply. That's like gold
in a spammer's list, which they can now sell as a top quality email
address to the highes
yes i have my settings saved that way but it somehow got sent to my inbox

True, I used to get these off-the-wall messages, supposedly from friends of

I did also fill in the gmail adress. My email adress was not on the list of
hacked gmail adresses. So nothing happened. Usually i never do this, but was
curious. If it had bin a hacker site, they probably would say that my adress

I guess I've learnt my lesson so I don't need any more of this. I thought since
it came through macvisionaries it was probably believable. I was too silly to
think that. So please don't rub it on.

Just a for instance, it wouldn't take too much to embed your gmail
address in the link so that clicking on it tells them you read their
spam and are willing to click on strange links. That puts you on the A
list they sell to other spammers. It's also possible the site will

And of course some of those emails look to be from a trusted source
but those sources were very likely to have been compromised. So best bet
is, if it looks and smells fishy, it is.

It's certainly better to be safe than sorry. If an e-mail looks fishy,
even if it's from an address you know, it probaly is...

There is all sorts of hacking going on. But it makes absolutely no
sense at all to go onto a strange web site and ewpose oneself to further
hacking. Common sense dictates that one can simply change passwords by
logging into legitimate web sites, in this case the Gmall site.
Furthermore,

Actually this one seems to be true. This leak has been reported by several
news outlets in the past several days.

Yep, I also got this message, it said 5 million gmail passwords were

Hi Andrew
I had exactly the same e-mail. I haven't tried the website, but share your
concerns completely. Could anyone else who is more in the know than me please
confirm if this was legit or not?? As with Andrew, I too am worried that I may
have revealed my address to a hacker.
Thanks.
Listers,
I think it was yesterday or the day before that I found among the messages from
the list an e-mail containing a warning of a possible leak of e-mail addresses
from gmail. The messaged contained instructions on how to check whether one's
e-mail was possibly compromised or not. The web
